browser and then directs the output of that video to the vSpace transcoding engine which creates a low-bandwidth stream that is transmitted to the L300 device over the network. The L300 then decompresses and scales the video stream in hardware up to full screen resolutions for optimal video quality.

Users will find that video on popular websites such as YouTube™ will display full-motion content up to 480p that can scale to full-screen at 1920x1080 resolution. During this process the display might show a very brief blue window where the streaming content is going to play, this is part of vSpace setting up for the transcoding process.

Browser-based animation optimization

Flash animations are optimized through vSpace and default rendering in the L300. The native rendering of desktop application content by vSpace assures that users get fast updates, smooth scrolling, and synchronized audio. The hardware-optimized performance of the L300 gives users a great multimedia experience.
